Arsenal v Leicester City: match preview

Arsenal v Leicester City
Arsenal v Leicester City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Can Le Professeur outsmart the self-titled Thinkerman again? Maybe, after all Arsène Wenger is the only manager so far to make Leicester look like the side that were bottom for much of last season. Arsenal, therefore, should be confident they can repeat the display and cut Leicester’s lead at the top in front of their own fans. However, Claudio Ranieri will surely be plotting another dazzling away win to keep his side on track for title glory. Graham Searles
